Speech Therapy

Involvement of a speech and language pathologist is useful in the assessment of children prior to early intervention or early childhood educational planning. Many children with CP have oromotor deficits, dyspha­gia, dysphonia, and/or articulation and language defi­cits. It is essential to recognize these deficits promptly and enroll these children into speech therapy services to address treatment strategies in an effort to correct or improve these concerns.
